WASHINGTON, United States—Mortgage rates in the United States have surged to the highest since 2002, said a home loan finance

company Thursday, adding pressure to buyers who are already grappling with high costs and low inventory.

The housing market has been reeling since interest rates rapidly climbed in recent months, a trend that has made home owners reluctant to put their properties up for sale — having previously locked in lower rates on their mortgages. “It’s just becoming increasingly unaffordable. Rates are high, there are also signs that the flow of credit is being tightened as well and because of this, there’s basically no supply out there,” he told AFP.
